Avar-Andian etymology :

Search within this database
Protoform: *c̣a(ʔV) ( ~ -o-)
North Caucasian etymology: North Caucasian etymology
Meaning: house, household
Avar: c̣á-ra-ki
Andian language: č̣a-ri-ko
Comments: Both the Av. and North. Akhv. form reflect the oblique base c̣ari- ( ~ -o-) from a noun, preserved in Akhv. Tlan.: č̣a 'household'; cf. also the Av. compounds q̇:aji-c̣á 'house belongings' (q̇:aji 'thing(s)), c̣a-rʕa 'vessels, plates and dishes' (raʕ 'pitcher'). The latter compound was borrowed in Cham. (Gig.) as c̣araʕi, and in Bezht. (Khosh.) as c̣araʔ (reflecting an earlier Av. form, without reduction).

Meaning: 1 village, settlement 2 house, room
Abkhaz: á-cu-ta
Ubykh: cʷǝjá
Comments: PAT *ćǝwǝ (cf. Bzyb. á-ću 'village'). The relationship between the Abkh. and Ub. forms is very probable, although we have to suppose a metathesis of labialisation and palatalisation (*ć:ǝwV / *c:ʷǝjV).
